clean install of catalina - disk utility question

I did a clean install of Catalina, appears that it is working OK but when I look at disk utility this is what it shows....link attached. Wondering is APFS correct? and then there is 2 MCINTOSH HD - Data listed.


I can reinstall if I did something wrong before I proceed further.


Thanks

Hello, harlan-lucia.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


From what I've read on your post is that you're concerned about seeing 2 MACINTOSH HDs in Disk Utility. I'd like to provide some information for you that may put your mind at ease. This may be expected, as "macOS Catalina runs on a dedicated, read-only system volume called Macintosh HD" About the read-only system volume in macOS Catalina


Cheers!
